SB 998 establishes the Alzheimer’s Prevention and Research Institute of Texas to support and accelerate research on Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders. The institute would provide grants to institutions of higher education and other research entities for Alzheimer’s research, prevention strategies, and treatment development. The bill also creates governance structures, including an oversight committee and a peer review committee, to ensure the effective administration of research funds. Additionally, it sets up a compliance framework, conflict-of-interest policies, and a dedicated funding mechanism through the Alzheimer’s Prevention and Research Fund​.
